Details

Join Nectar Yoga Retreats on the Greek Island of Lefkada, a bucket list destination located on the Ionian Sea! What says European Summer more than the Greek Islands?! We are calling this escape the art of slow living because we all need a little more yin to our yang, and nothing quite slows us down than embracing the island way of life. Expect sunrise ocean swims, mindful flow practices, post-yoga sunbathing, evening restorative practices, and sound baths. This escape is located on the Island of Lefkada, famous for its turquoise waters, beach coves, monasteries, museums, and mountainous villages, oozing with unique charm. Lefkada is called the "Caribbean of Greece' thanks to its exotic natural landscape and scenic beaches. Our resort is perched between two bays overlooking the Ionian Sea, with infinity pools and observation decks to bask in the sun and enjoy nature’s soundtrack of the waves gently crashing to shore. Your ultimate escape to restore balance, embrace the sunshine, where yoga meets the ocean, culture, and history. Together, we will unwind, reconnect, and “retreat” ourselves. We love yoga, travelling to dreamy places, and creating magic that happens only on a retreat!

With meals served around a communal table on the outdoor terrace, it will be a celebration of joy. You will experience a wholesome vegeterian food journey of Mediterranean flavours, inspired by traditional Greek recipes using local produce. Fresh fruits and vegetables will be highlighted to fuel the body and mind. We have worked closely with the venue to create a culinary adventure, bringing different tasteful delights to the table. Each meal is prepared with love and care. Please let us know on your booking form if you have any dietary requirements.

Schedule

Nectar Flows Yoga Retreats are available to anyone who wants to take a week off from their busy life and experience a week of yoga and nourishing food, and connect with like-minded people in the most dreamy places. Whether you’re a regular practitioner or new to yoga, you’re all welcome and will be fully supported. There is nothing quite like Greece in Summer where you will practice overlooking the Ionian Sea and mountains. The fully equipped indoor yoga shala has floor-to-ceiling windows to embody the surroundings, immersed in nature and tranquillity. The mornings will include a dynamic class to heat you from the inside out and feel at one with the surroundings. To embody the art of slow living, evenings will be restorative with some special sound bath sessions throughout the retreat to unwind from a day of exploring and set the tone for renewal. You will have plenty of free time each day to explore at your leisure. Unscheduled time is so important, so you can make it the holiday you want and need. There are many local beaches to explore on the island, Kathisma, Egremni, Milos, Pefkoulia, Myli, and Ammoglossa. We can help organise taxi transfers to/from local beaches or a transfer into Lefkada Town to experience local cuisine and culture. We have a special day trip included throughout the retreat. There is so much to explore on this beautiful island and what better way to experience it than by boat. You will board a private yacht for the day to embrace the island way of life. The tour will start sailing to the island of Madouri (the island of poet Aristotelis Valaoritis). Take in the scenery, laze on the sun deck overlooking the turquoise blue waters, dramatic coastline of cliffs and quiet coves, and truly embrace true slow living, as we venture towards Scorpios Island and Meganisi. Our first anchor stop will be the Island of Thilia. Dive off the boat for an ocean dip or go snorkelling. The trip will continue towards the southern coast of Meganisi, reaching the famous Papanikolis cave, followed by Svourna for another swim stop. There will be plenty of opportunities to also go paddle boarding and canoeing. The last anchorage is at the Elia lighthouse of Meganisi, where you can further enjoy the emerald island waters and bask in the sun. From the moment you arrive, you will feel immersed in sunshine and culture. The yoga is the cherry on top to an incredible cultural, Island escape.

Testimonials

info

“I went on the Greece retreat earlier this year. 100% recommend going on a Nectar Retreat. There was the perfect balance between yoga and relaxation. Our teachers, Amy and Becky, were incredible - guiding us through vinyasa, yin and various workshops. I really deepened my yoga practice but was able to do it at a pace that wasn’t overwhelming and I felt so safe in Amy and Beckys hands. The food was delicious - healthy, fresh, vegetarian food and incredible vegan treats. The week was heaven on earth. Thank you Nectar!”

“I had a fantastic time and it completely exceeded my expectations! Cannot wait to do it again 🧡”

“This particular venue was so unique and as stunning as it was serene. Nectar Flows Yoga retreats with Amy and Janet are so much more than a week of yoga. It is a week of healthy reset from normal life, impeccable fresh, creative prepared food that you do not have to make a single decision about. Every meal is a sumptuous surprise. Double sessions of 2 hour yoga fly by with thoughtful intention and inconspicuous individual care. Plenty of relaxing free time as well as planned excursions fill the hours in between. All of this is enhanced by the variety of people you share the experience with. I went to France with my daughters and girlfriend, 3 months later came to this one in Italy with my husband who had never taken a yoga class. I would also attend a future retreat alone without hesitancy. Returning home to “real life” is can be difficult, but you will find yourself refreshed and invigorated....and possible planning your next one! Nectar Flows Yoga retreats with Amy and Janet are addictive!”
